This book is a lexicon of untranslatable
Korean words that are related to my origins. Untranslatability happens when it
is hard to find a one-to-one equivalence from the source language to the target
language. In an effort to get closer to those meanings, I visualize the
concepts through archive photographs. The reader can look at each word
individually, whereas the book as a whole reveals Korean culture through the
history of my family. This collection of 100 words was organized in Korean
alphabetical order and came from associations, memories and introspection.
